The rays of the morning sun shone on Stacy's face as she woke up. She felt Randy's arms around her slim waist. She smiled when she turned to see Randy's peaceful sleeping face. She slowly turned around to face him. She gave him a soft kiss on the nose.

"Hey… Wake up sleepy head." She whispered.

"Hmmm?" Randy just made a sound as he was stirring up.

"Time to wake up." She repeated.

"What for? I'm tired…" Randy just said and continued to close his eyes.

"You can go to sleep but I'm going to take a shower and go downstairs for my breakfast." Stacy just said and pinched his nose before she got out of the bed.

"Hey, can I join you?" Randy said as he jerked awake when she heard Stacy said the word shower. Stacy just made a face before saying anything.

"I'm not showering with sleepy heads today." She said.

"Aww… C'mon Stace… Look, I'm all awake now!" he said and caught up with her.

"Hey… What's the commotion all about?" John asked as he poked his head inside the room. He was already dressed in his street clothes.

"Oops! Sorry… My bad, I thought something's wrong." He smiled when he saw Randy, carrying Stacy over his shoulder. Stacy was giggling loudly and he decided to shut the door back again.

"But guys, if you're going down for breakfast, just tell me so we can go down together." John said as he opened the door again only to see that nobody was there anymore.

"Oh boy!" he said and shut the door again. He went over to the mini living room and picked up a magazine and started flipping the pages, looking for pictures that might interest him. He was still flipping the pages of the magazine when he noticed his mobile phone laying on the end table.

"Why not call and check up on her?" he thought and picked his mobile phone. He started to scan for Torrie's number on his phonebook.

"Hey Tor." He said over the phone.

"Oh! Hi John. What's up?" Torrie's voice came on the reply.

"I just called to check on you. How are you?" he asked as he leaned back on the couch.

"I'm fine." She answered, still thinking on what to say to him.

"So you wanna get down to breakfast?" John asked slowly.

"Yeah sure, I'm alone for breakfast anyway so that would be cool." Torrie replied.

"Awesome! SO I'll meet you at the lobby 7:30 sharp?" he answered.

"Yeah, see you there." Torrie said and bade goodbye. John put his mobile phone down with a smile on his face.

He was still smiling when Randy and Stacy finally came out, all dressed up and everything.

"Come on John, let's go." Randy said as he head over to the door with Stacy tailing him.

"Yeah sure." He answered enthusiastically.

"Must have caught some good luck early in the morning." Stacy whispered to Randy.

"Uh huh." Randy agreed and just let John on his own.

And just what John had expected, Torrie was on her way to the lobby too. He smiled at her and she smiled back. Boy was he on cloud nine when she struck that billion-dollar smile.

"So I guess we'll be in the other table." Stacy nudged John.

"No, no. We'll eat together." John replied as he helped Torrie in to a seat.

"Hi Stace!" she greeted her friend.

"Hiya Tor!" Stace exclaimed.

"We'll just get the food." Randy said and pulled John with him. Stacy just smiled so did Torrie.

"So things are going great with you and John. What with the two of you?" Stacy asked casually as she leaned on the table, focusing her sight on Torrie.

"Yeah, I have lots of fun when I'm with him. But we're just friends." Torrie replied.

"Come on Tor. I know you, you never looked this happy since you were still dating Billy." Stacy answered carelessly, but it was too late to stop herself. Torrie's smile started to fade away.

"Oh, I'm sorry Tor. I didn't mean to bring the subject up." Stacy said apologetically.

"It's okay Stace. It's just that I am trying to forget about Billy's… about what Billy did to me." She answered slowly, not meeting Stacy's gaze.

"Uh…" was all Stacy could say. She was still thinking on what to say next while fiddling with her necklace. She was a bit relieved when Randy and John came back with their breakfast.

"So what were you girls chatting about when we were gone?" John asked.

"Nothing really, just some girly stuff." Torrie answered, cheerfulness now back on her voice.

"I wouldn't want to ask." Randy replied and smiled good-naturedly.
